2 hospitalized after nightclub shooting

Woman in critical condition after incident

Two people were shot early Saturday morning after a dispute erupted inside of the View, a Louisville after-hours nightclub.

According to Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell, police were called to the 1000 block of Story Avenue about 5 a.m.

Investigators said there were dozens of people inside the club when the shots were fired.

A man and a woman were injured and taken to University Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Community activist Christopher 2X said the woman who was injured has worked at UPS for almost 14 years. He spoke with the families of both victims.

"There was a dispute on the dance floor. They were in close proximity somewhere to that dance floor, and bullets went flying," 2X said.

2X also said the man was shot several times but was in stable condition, and the woman was hit by a stray bullet and was in critical condition in intensive care.

"Part of her spine was damaged, and that's a very serious concern for them," 2X said. "If she recovers at some level from the gunshot wound injury, it could lead to some level of paralysis, and they're worried about that."

It was the second incident of gunfire at the nightclub within a month.

A male was shot while driving back in December as a result of a dispute that occurred at the business. 2X said that victim also remains hospitalized.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact the anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD.
